Description

Updated linux-gpib kernel driver and user utilities.

This builds upon the work of https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/vddvss/linux-gpib/ in packaging the linux-gpib driver for Fedora. It updates the RPMs for active Fedora releases and to the latest linux-gpib driver (SVN trunk) and user utilities.
